FAQs
Will I need a top up?
Handpoked and machine fine line tattoos can heal soft and light, this is what makes them special. So, if you loose any detail, I am happy to offer your first top up for free
What is the aftercare?
I will go through the aftercare with you at your appointment, but if you are unsure please contact me
I will apply a protective film to the skin when I have finished your tattoo
This is to be kept on for 2 days. You can then remove it under freshly running water. If it comes off in the meantime, just leave the tattoo to breathe and continue with the aftercare
Once the dressing is off, gently wash and pat dry morning and evening. Moisturise 3 times a day with the cream I provide
Please don’t pick or scratch your tattoo
No swimming or soaking in water for 3 weeks
No direct, strong sunlight for 3 weeks. After this, factor 50
Your tattoo should be completely healed after 4 weeks. If you could send me a healed picture I would be grateful
Top ups can be arranged after 3 weeks
Can I exercise after my tattoo?
Apart from swimming, you can go back to your daily activities after 2 days when your protective film has been removed
I would avoid very sweaty workouts, saunas and steam rooms for at least week after your tattoo

Handpoked tattoo costs are based on design, size and complexity. If you require a handpoked tattoo please state this in the booking email so that I can cost accordingly
Does it hurt?
Honestly, most people are surprised by how little it hurts. This is of course dependent on the placement and duration of the tattoo. Many people find the whole process, machine or handpoked, calming and some even fall asleep
How long do they last?
Machine and handpoked tattoos are permanent. Although, my style is a little on the light hand and a top up may be required, I offer your first top up complimentary
How long does it take?
Handpoked tattoos take a little longer than machine fine line tattoos
The duration will, off course, be dependent on your chosen tattoo, but I will try to give you an idea beforehand
